2009 GMC Sierra 1500 complaints

NOT NECESSARILY AN INCIDENT. I BOUGHT THE TRUCK USED IN JANUARY 2014. THE DASH WAS ALREADY CRACKED. SINCE THEN PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THE DASHES CRACKING ON GM TRUCKS AND YUKONS 2008-2010. MINE SINCE I BOUGHT IT HAS CRACKED MORE, AND COMING LOOSE, ONE CRACK IS NEAR THE AIR BAG. I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO GM'S ATTENTION AT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT AND WANT TO CHARGE ME THE FULL PRICE OF THE DASH TO REPLACE IT WITH THE SAME THING THAT WAS THERE, SO IT CAN BREAK/CRACK AGAIN??? I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP THEY SAY THEYLL FIX IT ONLY FOR A PERCENTAGE FOR THE TIME PAST THE WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE, AND THAT ITS A ONE TIME DEAL I CANT GET THE PRICE AND GO BACK LATER. THIS HAS GONE UNRECOGNISED BY GM AS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD IF AIR BAGS DEPLOY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 GMC SIERRA 1500. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, A LOUD BANGING SOUND WAS HEARD UNDER THE VEHICLE. UPON INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A STEEL SPRING THAT INDEPENDENTLY FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SPARE TIRE CARRIER ASSEMBLY FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,000. UPDATED 8/31/15*CN UPDATED 10/30/2017*CN

UPON ENTERING THE VEHICLE, I NOTICED A LINE ON THE DASHBOARD, AND WHEN I RAN MY FINGERS ACROSS IT TO CHECK IT OUT. I DISCOVERED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS CRACKED. WHEN I GOT HOME I INSPECTED THE CRACK A LITTLE CLOSER AND REALIZED THAT THIS CRACK HAD BEEN THERE FOR AWHILE, I JUST COULD NOT SEE IT. THE OLDER PART OF THE CRACK WAS BLACK AND THE NEW CRACK WAS GRAY. THIS CRACK IS CONSISTENT WITH OTHER GM TRUCK OWNERS, AND WHAT THEY ARE EXPERIENCING WITH THESE TYPE VEHICLES. THIS CRACK IS IN THE SAME VULNERABLE LOCATION NEAR THE UPPER LEFT CORNER OF THE AIRBAG. I AM CURRENTLY WORKING WITH GMC TO REPLACE THIS FAULTY MATERIAL. THIS TRUCK IS 6 YEARS OLD AND HAS LOW MILEAGE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN IT COMES TO THE AIRBAG DEPLOYING. NO ONE KNOWS HOW MUCH OF THE DASHBOARD WILL DEPLOY WITH THE AIRBAG. GMC NEEDS A RECALL... THE INTERNET IS FULL OF TESTIMONIES ABOUT GM PRODUCTS CRACKING DASHBOARDS. AN INVESTIGATION IS NECESSARY TO FIND OUT ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THE MATERIAL USED IN MANUFACTURING THESE DASHBOARDS.

I'M HAVING ELECTRICAL/COMPUTER PROBLEMS THAT STARTED OVER A YEAR AGO AND CONTINUE TO INCREASE. FIRST, MY SPEAKERS GO OFF AND ON AS THEY PLEASE. THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR SPEAKER IS THE ONLY ONE THAT STAYS ON CONSISTENTLY, AND IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HITTING BUMPS OR ANYTHING ELSE. SECOND, MY POWER LOOKS HAVE GONE OUT. MY KEY FOB WILL STILL WORK THEM AND THEY STILL LOCK AND UNLOCK WHEN TRUCK IS MOVED BETWEEN PARK AND DRIVE. BUT THE BUTTONS ON THE DOOR DO NOT WORK. I'VE REPLACED ALL THE FUSES, AND STILL, NOTHING. THIRD, MY CRUISE CONTROL IS GOING OUT. ON A LONG DRIVE I USED IT FOR HALF AND THEN THE OTHER HALF IT WOULDN'T EVEN TRY TO COME BACK ON. A FEW DAYS LATER IT WORKED AGAIN. *TR

2009 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE CONSUMER STATED IT FELT AS THOUGH THE BRAKES WERE DRAGGING WHEN COMING TO A STOP OR A LIGHT. *SS THE CONSUMER STATED THE PROBLEM BECAME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE, PARTICULARLY WHEN TURNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND A PROBLEM. HE RETURNED TO THE DEALER, A MONTH LATER, AND STILL NO PROBLEM WAS FOUND. THE CONSUMER REPLACED THE BRAKE FLUID, AND IT RESOLVED THE PROBLEM FOR A SHORT WHILE. *JB

THANKFULLY I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY ROAD AT ABOUT 25-30 MPH. WHEN I HEARD A LOUD SQUEAK AND A LITTLE NOISE. I THOUGHT THAT SOMETHING MUST HAVE FALLEN IN THE BED OF THE TRUCK. I LOOKED IN MY MIRROR AND SAW MY SPARE TIRE LAYING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LANE. THANKFULLY, THERE WERE NO CARS FOLLOWING. I TURNED AROUND AND FOUND THAT THE CABLE THAT HOLDS THE SPARE TIRE UP UNDER THE BED OF THE TRUCK HAD BROKEN AND DROPPED THE TIRE AND THE COMPONENTS THAT HOLD THE SPARE TIRE IN PLACE WHERE LAYING ON THE PAVEMENT. I NORMALLY DRIVE ON A VERY BUSY INTERSTATE ROAD AT 70 MPH. I CAN NOT EVEN IMAGINE WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPEN THIS HAD HAPPENED ON THAT ROAD! I AM SURE THAT SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED! I HAVE CONTACTED A DEALER AND I AM STILL WAITING TO HEAR WHAT THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME TO FIX THE ISSUE. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD BEGAN TO CRACK AND SOME OF THE CRACKS WERE LOCATED DIRECTLY OVER THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,015.

HIT A POTHOLE FULL OF WATER WITH RIGHT REAR TIRE WHILE MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN. THE WATER SPLASHED UP AND ENTERED INTO THE FUEL SYSTEM CONTROL MODULE THROUGH A POOR SEAL CAUSING THE UNIT TO SHUT OFF FUEL TO THE TRUCK. TRUCK STALLED OUT AND WOULD NOT RESTART BLOCKING TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS LIT, AND THE TRUCK HAD THE FOLLOWING CODES SET: P069E, P0231, P025A, P064A. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO HAYDOCY GMC AND THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS A FAULTY FUEL SYSTEM CONTROL MODULE. THEY REPLACED AND REPROGRAMMED THE NEW UNIT TO THE TRUCK. THEY RETURNED THE DEFECTIVE PART TO ME AT MY REQUEST AND IT WAS DRIPPING WATER OUT OF THE SEAL. THIS IS SIMILAR TO RECALL 09V154000 FOR SIMILAR 2009 GM VEHICLES THAT WERE ASSEMBLED IN LATE 2008 JUST LIKE MY TRUCK IN WHICH THE SEAL WAS DEFECTIVE AND WOULD ALLOW WATER TO SEEP INTO THE FUEL SYSTEM CONTROL MODULE. I BELIEVE THIS RECALL SHOULD HAVE INCLUDED ADDITIONAL VEHICLE MODELS INCLUDING THE GMC SIERRA. I WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO PROVIDE ANY DOCUMENTATION, PICTURES, OR PARTS NECESSARY TO ASSIST. *TR

THERE IS A CRACK IN MY TRUCK'S DASHBOARD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE,RIGHT NEXT TO THE AIRBAG SECTION.THE DASHBOARD CRACKED ON ITS OWN,AS IT WAS NEVER SUBJECTED TO ANY KIND OF AN IMPACT OR FORCE. MY REASONABLE DOUBT IS THAT IT CRACKED DUE TO BEING MADE OF LOW QUALITY MATERIAL. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO MY LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP,SAME PLACE WHERE I ALWAYS TAKE MY TRUCK FOR ANYTHING CONCERNING MY TRUCK. WHEN I BROUGHT MY TRUCK AND SHOWED A SERVICE DEPT. EMPLOYEE, I WAS TOLD THAT NEITHER MY REGULAR,NOR MY EXTENDED VEHICLE WARRANTY COVERED THE DAMAGE,AND IF I WANTED IT REPLACED I WOULD NEED TO PAY ~$250!!! I WAS STUNNED AND APPALLED THAT I WOULD NEED TO PAY TO REPLACE SOMETHING THAT WAS CLEARLY A LOW QUALITY PRODUCT,SOMETHING I ALREADY PAID FOR WHEN I BOUGHT THE TRUCK BRAND NEW. I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO THAT DEALERSHIP, OR ANOTHER GMC DEALERSHIP AS A MATTER OF FACT, EVER AGAIN, JUST OUT OF SPITE. I FEEL CHEATED AND CONNED, AS NOT ONLY DID THE GMC NOT WANT TO REPLACE THE DASHBOARD,IT WAS NOT EVEN COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY I PURCHASED WHEN I GOT THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW. I SUSPECT GMC KNEW ABOUT THIS ISSUE SO THEY INTENTIONALLY DID NOT COVER IT UNDER THE VEHICLE WARRANTY. MY REAL CONCERN ISN'T IN THE AESTHETICS OF A CRACKED DASHBOARD,IT IS FOR THE SAFETY OF THE PASSENGERS THAT DRIVE IN MY TRUCK. IF,GOD FORBID,I WAS TO GET INTO A CAR ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS, THERE IS A VERY REAL CHANCE THAT THE AIRBAG MIGHT GET PUNCTURED ON THE EDGE OF THE CRACKED DASHBOARD AND FAIL TO DO ITS FUNCTIO

THE POWER DOOR LOCKS WON'T LOCK AND UNLOCK. I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED ONE DOOR LOCK MECHANISM AT MY COST. NOW A SECOND LOCK WON'T FUNCTION. THIS IS WELL KNOWN BY GM. THEY REFUSE TO RECALL IT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. GM NEEDS TO REPAIR THESE DOOR LOCKS. *TR

I PURCHASED 2 RUGGED RIDGE FRONT FLOOR MATS FOR MY 2009 GMC EXTENDED CAB 1500 SIERRA ON 11/15/13. LAST WEEK ON 1/9/14, I WAS ACCELERATING TO GET ON THE INTERSTATE AT FULL THROTTLE. THE ACCELERATOR STUCK DOWN AT FULL THROTTLE AFTER I LIGHTENED PEDDLE PRESSURE TO SLOW DOWN. AT FIRST I HIT THE BRAKES BUT COULDN'T SLOW THE VEHICLE. I THEN TURNED THE IGNITION KEY TO DISENGAGE THE IGNITION. THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SLOW. I TURNED THE IGNITION BACK ON AND THE TRUCK WAS STILL AT FULL THROTTLE AND I NEARLY REAR ENDED THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I THEN PULLED THE FLOOR MAT BACK WITH MY HEEL AND THE ACCELERATOR RELEASED. *TR

TRANSMISSION DELAY FROM PARK TO DRIVE. AS TRANSMISSION MOVES INTO DRIVE THE TRUCK JERKS FORWARD VIOLENTLY. PARK TO REVERSE DID NOT SEEM TO BE A PROBLEM. DEALER WORKED ON THE TRUCK FOR APPROXIMATELY 8 HOURS, FLUSHED TRANSMISSION, AND PERFORMED OIL CHANGE, DID NOT NOTICE ANY METAL IN THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND SOUGHT AN UPDATE FOR THE TCM (WAS UP-TO-DATE); HOWEVER, A SMALL AMOUNT OF WATER WAS SEEN IN THE OIL PAN. DEALER PERFORMED A TEST DRIVE AND THE TRUCK APPEARED TO BE BACK IN WORKING CONDITION. OWNER ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE THE TRUCK OUT OF THE DEALER LOT BUT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ENGAGE. OWNER ATTEMPTED TO PUT THE TRUCK IN REVERSE, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ENGAGE. TRUCK WAS LEFT AT THE DEALER FOR FURTHER EVALUATION. NO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AT THIS TIME. TRANSMISSION STILL UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

MY DRIVER'S DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR HAS BEGUN WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. THIS IS THE SECOND DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR ON MY VEHICLE TO FAIL, THE FIRST WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AND THE GM MECHANIC TOLD ME THEY HAVE REPLACED NUMEROUS ACTUATORS. THE VEHICLE AUTOMATICALLY LOCKS ALL DOORS WHEN DRIVEN AND UNLOCKS WHEN STOPPED HOWEVER THE FAULTY ACTUATOR DOES NOT ALWAYS LOCK OR UNLOCK. THESE ACTUATORS HAVE A LONG HISTORY OF BEING DEFECTIVE AND GM IS AWARE OF IT BUT REFUSES TO RECALL THE FAULTY ACTUATOR EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE LITERALLY REPLACED THOUSANDS OF THESE UNITS. THESE FAULTY ACTUATORS ARE A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT A DOOR COULD FAIL TO UNLOCK EFFECTIVELY TRAPPING THE OCCUPANTS. THE FAULTY ACTUATORS ARE ALSO A SECURITY CONCERN BECAUSE THEY COULD FAIL TO SECURE THE VEHICLE ALLOWING ANYONE ACCESS TO IT'S CONTENTS. *TR

OBSTRUCTED VIEW OUT OF WINDSHIELD ON PASSENGER SIDE. THE WIPER ONLY COVERS 2/3RDS OF THE PASSENGER SIDE OF WINDSHIELD. IN SNOW AND ICE STORM CONDITIONS THE PASSENGER SIDE WIPER IS NOT FUNCTIONAL AND BECAUSE A VISIBILITY SAFETY ISSUE.

REPORTED TO DEALER WHO REPLACE WIPER BLADES BUT THIS DOES NOT CORRECT THE DEFROSTER ISSUE OR THE WIPER SAFETY VISIBILITY PROBLEM ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DURING A STORM RAIN OR SNOW ETC. *TR
